4 0 02 Page Third Quarter 2007 D.Logistics in the 3rd Quarter D.Logistics in the 3rd Quarter: Further Growth Total sales up 6.3 % In the third quarter of 2007, sales were as positive as in the previous quarters; at million the same period in the previous year was exceeded by 6.3 %. Adjusted for changes in the scope of consolidation, the increase in sales was 3.6 %. In the first nine months, at million sales were 3.9 % higher than in the same period in the previous year. Adjusted for changes in the scope of consolidation, this means organic growth of 5.3 % for this period. If the currency fluctuation is taken into consideration, the change is an increase of as much as 6.7 %. Adjusted operating result 10 % higher than in the previous year The third-quarter operating result (EBITA) was at 3.00 million 10.2 % higher than the adjusted level in the same period in the previous year ( 2.72 million), which was positively affected by special income of 5.67 million resulting from the sale of GHX Europe and Schumacher GmbH. Including these special items, the previous-year EBITA was 8.39 million. In the first nine months of the current fiscal year, a Group EBITA of 8.61 million was achieved; this result exceeds the adjusted figure for the same period in the previous year by 41.7 %. For the purpose of comparison, in addition to the special income from company sales ( 5.67 million) the income from legal disputes ( 2.0 million) which was reported in 2006 was also adjusted. In the third quarter, there were net profits of 0.32 million for the shareholders of D.Logistics AG. The previous year which included special items in the amount of 8.06 million was 8.27 million. The cumulative net profits for the shareholders in D.Logistics AG as of September 30, 2007 were 2.11 million. In the same period in the previous year which included special income of million the net profits were million. D.Logistics shares in Q3 Results planning confirmed sales corridor increased slightly D.Logistics AG confirms its results planning published in its half-year financial report for the fiscal year 2007 and is increasing its expected sales corridor to million (previously million). We assume that the original sales planning will be clearly exceeded in industrial goods packaging. Consumer goods packaging is expected to be at the lower end of the planning range not least due to the weak US dollar while warehouse logistics will probably slightly miss its sales goal, partly due to the disposal of PickPoint AG. We continue to expect a Group EBITA of million. indexed, in % Jul 07 Aug 07 Sep 07 D.Logistics AG CDAX Prime Logistics D.Logistics share loses ground in a weak market environment The D.Logistics share lost ground in a market environment negatively affected by the US real estate crisis.

The D.Logistics share closed the third quarter at a price of Relative to the end of the second quarter, this represents a decrease of 11.0 %. In the period to September 30, the D.Logistics share gained a good 18 %. The sector index of logistics stocks quoted in the Prime Standard (Prime Logistics) fell in the third quarter by 14.5 % and the multiple-sector CDAX on which D.Logistics is listed fell 3.0 %.

5 Economic Environment Management Report Page 0 03 Economic Environment Further expansion of the global economy increased risks The global economy continues to expand strongly in the autumn of 2007, although the economic risks have increased. The problems triggered on the financial markets by the real estate crisis in the US have led to a reevaluation of lending risks. Many fear that this might increase companies financing costs and negatively impact on non-monetary activities. However, there is truth in the optimistic view that the global economic dynamic has been high for a long time. In emerging markets what was already a very strong expansion actually accelerated in 2007, especially in the Asia region and in China in particular. In contrast, for some time now production in industrialized nations has risen only moderately. In the US, the economy had already noticeably slowed in mid- 2006, triggered by a fall in construction activity. Eurozone economy loses impetus In the first half of 2007, the Eurozone economy grew slightly slower than previously. Exports and investments rose only moderately. The quarter was affected by several special factors: Private household consumer spending in the Eurozone stagnated at the start of the year, particularly because of the fall in consumer spending in Germany due to the value-added tax increase; the second-quarter recovery was weak despite a favorable employment trend. In addition, construction investments were brought forward due to the mild winter; this is the reason for the clear slowdown in investments during the first half of the year. External trade provided a positive contribution to the overall economic expansion: Exports rose moderately while the increase in imports was merely restrained. The slowdown in economic expansion in the second quarter was noticeable in all the major Eurozone countries. Subdued expansion in Germany The German economy is still on a powerful upward trajectory. However, in the present year it is being negatively affected by several factors. The restrictive financial policy is considerably subduing domestic demand, particularly private consumption. There is also the further rise in the price of oil and the appreciation of the euro. The recent turbulence on the financial markets will probably also have a negative impact on the economy. However, despite all this the German economy is not in an unstable situation. Instead, the fundamental conditions have noticeably improved. So far, tensions which in earlier cycles triggered a downturn or even a recession have yet to materialize either in terms of wages or inflation. An emphatically restrictive monetary policy is therefore unlikely. Business in the transport and logistics sector in % Autumn revival in the transport and logistics sector 40 The current business conditions in the transport and logistics sector once again improved in Sep- 30 tember 2007 relative to the previous month, according to the survey results of the SCI logistics 20 barometer.

Adjusted for changes in the scope of consolidation, the increase in sales was 3.6 %. The main growth stimulus was the industrial goods packaging segment whose sales exceeded the same quarter in the previous year by 22.6 %. In the consumer goods packaging segment, sales are 6.7 % below the previous year, not least due to the weak US dollar, and in the warehouse logistics segment sales are 5.6 % higher than in the previous year. With a 55.7 % share of group sales, the proportion accounted for by Germany rose by 5.6 percentage points. This is a result of rising industrial goods packaging and warehouse logistics sales. The US share of sales fell by 6.4 percentage points to 16.6 %. The proportion of sales elsewhere in Europe increased from 26.9 % to 27.7 %. In the first nine months, at million sales were 3.9 % higher than in the same period in the previous year. Adjusted for changes to the consolidated group, this means organic growth of 5.3 %. If the currency fluctuation is taken into consideration, the change is an increase of 6.7 %. EBITA in millions /06 03/07 06/06 06/07 09/06 09/07 12/06 Adjusted operating result 10 % higher than the previous year The operating result (EBITA) in the third quarter was at 3.00 million 10.2 % higher than the adjusted level in the same period in the previous year ( 2.72 million) which was positively affected by special income in the amount of 5.67 million. Including these special items, the previousyear EBITA was 8.39 million. Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) were at 5.06 million 3.2 % higher than in the adjusted same quarter in the previous year. The adjusted EBITDA margin fell from 6.2 % in the second quarter of 2006 to 6.0 % in the quarter under review. Depreciation of property, plant and equipment and other intangible assets fell from 2.18 million to 2.05 million. The individual segments performed as follows: In the consumer goods packaging segment, due to the poor trend in the US the EBITA was at 0.77 million 32.3 % below the previous year. Industrial goods packaging recorded a 29.9 % rise to 2.19 million. In the warehouse logistics segment, the EBITA was at 1.22 million below the level for the previous year ( 1.37 million), but this was positively influenced by special income in the amount of 0.81 million resulting from the sale of Schumacher GmbH. The EBITA loss of D.Logistics AG (Holding) was 1.10 million; the previousyear result in the amount of 4.32 million included disposal gains of 4.86 million. In the first nine months of the current fiscal year, a Group EBITA of 8.61 million was achieved; this result exceeds the value for the adjusted same period in the previous year by 41.7 %. For the purpose of comparison, in addition to the special income from company sales ( 5.67 million) the income from legal disputes ( 2.0 million) which was reported in 2006 was also adjusted. Relative to the same quarter in the previous year the financial result decreased from 0.56 to 1.18 million. This is mainly due to the finance costs which increased by 0.54 million to 1.61 million following the industrial goods packaging acquisitions. Financial income decreased from 0.39 million to 0.29 million. The share of earnings accounted for by associates rose by 0.02 million to 0.14 million. Earnings before taxes (EBT) in the third quarter were 1.83 million (previous year including positive special items 7.82 million). The third-quarter income tax expenses were negatively influenced in an amount of 0.35 million by the deferred taxes within the framework of the reevaluation due to the tax reform and by an accrual made for a subsidiary in the amount of 0.3 million.

The previous year which included special items in the amount of 8.06 million was 8.27 million. In cumulative terms, the net profits for the shareholders of D.Logistics AG as of September 30, 2007 were 2.11 million; in the same period in the previous year, which included special income in the amount of million, the net profits were million. The earnings per share in the third quarter were (previous year 0.195), in the first nine months they reached (previous year 0.254). Net cash provided by operating activities in millions /06 03/07 06/06 06/07 09/06 09/07 12/ Net cash and investments The third-quarter net cash provided by operating activities was 1.41 million (previous year 3.53 million). This decrease was mainly due to the strong cut-off date-related increase in trade accounts receivable ( million) and increased inventories ( million). At the same time, trade accounts payable only increased by 4.87 million. The net cash provided by investing activities was positive at 0.87 million (previous year million). Here, the proceeds of the sale of GHX Europe GmbH ( million) and dividends from financial assets exceeded the amounts paid out for the acquisition of assets. Net cash provided by financing activities amounted to million (previous year 0.44 million), whereby the takeup of funds marginally exceeded repayment of borrowings. Cash increased in quarterly terms by 2.62 million to million. In the first nine months of 2007, at 8.84 million the net cash provided by (used in) operating activities exceeded the same period in the previous year by 6.9 %. Net financial liabilities in millions /06 12/06 03/07 06/07 09/ Financial indebtedness increased subproportionate despite acquisitions For the acquisition of the Walpa Group and the 45 % minority interests in the Deufol Tailleur Group, in the first nine months of the year purchase price payments of 21.5 million were due. A significant portion of this was financed through cash flow. The financial indebtedness of the D.Logistics Group increased in the first nine months of the year to a disproportionately low extent by 13.2 million to 78.1 million. The increase in the net financial liabilities was even lower, from 42.9 million at the end of the year by 10.1 million to 53.0 million. Increased balance sheet total The balance sheet total as of September 30, 2007 is at million 8.8 % above the level at the end of the previous year ( million). For the current assets, the largest changes were for the other receivables and other assets ( 3.6 million to 3.0 million) and cash (+ 3.4 to 15.1 million). The inventories rose by 2.0 million to 15.8 million and the trade accounts receivable also increased by 2.0 million to 54.3 million. With regard to the noncurrent assets, plant, property and equipment fell ( 3.6 to 51.4 million) while the other intangible assets rose by 0.8 to 2.0 million. The goodwill increased due to the acquisitions (+18.1 to 59.6 million). The financial assets remained constant ( 2.2 million) and the other assets only changed slightly.

The profit for the period (+ 2.1 million) and the increased capital reserves (+ 2.6 million) had a positive effect here. Reduced minority interests ( 3.9 million) and the changes in other recognized income and expense ( 2.0 million) had a negative effect. With an increased balance sheet total, the equity ratio fell from 40.3 % to 36.1 %. The liabilities increased on balance by 20.7 million to million. Rising number of employees On September 30, 2007, the D.Logistics Group had 3,141 employees worldwide. This is 117 employees or 3.9 % more than at the end of the second quarter. The strongest increase was in warehouse logistics (+ 78 employees), where new personnel were hired due to the rising volume of business. As of September 30, 2007, D.Logistics had 1,924 employees in Germany (June 30, 2007: 1,825) and 1,217 employees abroad (June 30, 2007: 1,199).

This segment therefore contributed 39.6 % to Group sales (compared to 45.1 % in the third quarter of 2006). The sales trend was negatively affected by the weak development in the US and by the strong euro, which gained almost 8 % by comparison with the previous year. After nine months, sales by segment are 4.3 % below the level for the previous year. Adjusted for the exchange-rate change, sales were slightly below the level for the previous year ( 1.0 %). It was therefore possible to make up for the loss of the Gillette contract in Italy with a nine-month volume of around 9 million. The operating result (EBITA) in the third quarter was 0.77 million, clearly below the previous year ( 1.13 million). All the regions performances were consistently positive, with the exception of the US whose results fell significantly short of the previous year. In nine-month terms, the EBITA is at 2.12 million 18.9 % below the previous year.

Nearly 8 percentage points of this growth were accounted for by acquisitions. This segment is therefore now contributing 43.5 % to Group sales (compared to 37.7 % in the third quarter of 2006). After nine months, the sales exceeded the previous year by 21.6 %. The operating result (EBITA) increased in the third quarter in annual terms by 29.9 % from 1.68 million to 2.19 million, and after nine months is thus 24.7 % higher than in the same period in the previous year.

This segment is therefore contributing 16.8 % to Group sales (compared to 16.9 % in the third quarter of 2006). After nine months, the sales undershot the previous year by 11.0 %. Adjusted for company sales, however, sales grew by 6.3 %. The third-quarter operating result (EBITA) was at 1.2 million below the previous year s level of 1.37 million, though this was positively affected by the deconsolidation of Schumacher GmbH in the amount of 0.81 million. The loss of PickPoint AG, which had a negative impact on the same quarter in the previous year with a negative result of 0.36 million, relieved the balance sheet. In nine-month terms, the EBITA is at 3.19 million 29.1 % above the previous year ( 2.47 million) even though the previous year s earnings included income of 1.0 million resulting from a settlement in a legal dispute in Belgium.

10 0 08 Page Management Report Outlook Outlook Global economy s growth loses impetus The joint economic forecast issued by leading economic research institutes assumes that there will be a noticeable downturn in the global economy. This is due less to the current problems on the financial markets, which the institutes expect to fade in the coming weeks and months. The more important factor is that the correction on the US real estate market is more significant than has been predicted to date. In the Eurozone, further factors are the slowdown effect of the euro s appreciation and the fact that monetary policy is no longer expansively oriented. The rate of growth will also slow in the United Kingdom and Japan in the coming year, though talk of a downturn would be inappropriate. The weaker economic situation in the industrialized nations should be associated with a slowdown in the increase in production in the emerging markets. The worldwide increase in production should amount to 2.9 % in 2007 and 2.7 % in Of this, around 0.6 percentage points are attributable to the rise in China alone. In this year and the next, world trade should only increase moderately, at rates of 5.3 % and 5.8 %. The institutes see the US real estate crisis as probably the largest hazard for the development of the global economy. This may continue for a significant amount of time and thereby weaken the US economy more perceptibly than has been assumed in their forecast. The effects on the Eurozone of recession tendencies in the US might be amplified through a further rise of the euro against the dollar. However, there are also opportunities. If the situation on the US real estate market stabilizes soon or if the correction remains limited to housing construction investments, there might soon be a rapid revival of the US economy. Downturn in the Eurozone Industrial production which remained on a clearly upward trajectory, full order books and the high confidence indicator figures among the business community and consumers indicate that Eurozone production once again strongly expanded in the third quarter of However, since the summer there have been a series of factors which will have a negative impact on the upswing in the Eurozone around the end of the year and in As shown by recent confidence indicators, the turbulence on the financial markets has subdued the optimism of companies and households. There are also the subduing effects of external trade: For the time being, the US economy will continue to weaken. The euro s effective appreciation in real terms is also negatively affecting the competitiveness of Eurozone producers. However, there are reasons to suggest that these negative effects will not trigger any downturn in the Eurozone. For instance, the high level of utilization of capacities means that expansion investments still look attractive for companies. A positive profits situation continues to favor their financing. At the same time, the increase in employment will continue at a rate which is only slightly slower. Together with wages which are rising somewhat faster, this will stimulate private consumption. Overall, the rise in the real gross domestic product will be 2.6 % this year and 2.1 % next year. There will therefore be hardly any increase in the utilization of capacities in the overall economy. The fall in unemployment will also slow significantly. Consumer prices will rise by 2.2 % this year and 2.1 % next year.

11 Outlook Management Report Page 0 09 Slowed upturn in Germany For the remainder of the year, in their autumn assessment the economic research institutes expect to see increased impetus in domestic demand. Plant investments will remain the key stimulus; the fact that projects will be brought forward due to the less favorable depreciation rules which will come into force as of the start of 2008 will also favor their growth. Private consumption will also rise. As the situation on the labor market is continuing to improve and disposable incomes are rising perceptibly, an increase in consumer spending should be expected in the second half of the year. The signals from outside Germany should also improve somewhat. While the US economy is on the decline, elsewhere in the Eurozone there will be a revival in the growth of domestic demand. For the year 2007, the institutes predict a 2.6 % increase in the real gross domestic product. For 2008, the institutes expect to see an increase in the real gross domestic product of 2.2 %. In the course of the year, unemployment will fall more slowly than in 2007 and the average figure will be a good 3.4 million in 2008, compared to almost 3.8 million this year. At 2.0 %, price buoyancy should be similarly high to Business forecast for the transport and logistics sector in % Worse No change Better Worse No change Better Worse No change July August September Better Favorable sector perspectives Business predictions in the transport and logistics sectors remain at a high level. Around 50 % of companies questioned expect to see a more favorable business trend over the next three months, while 45 % expect their development to remain unchanged. Only 3 % of those questioned expect their business to worsen over the next quarter. In regard to the future price and cost trend, a high proportion of those questioned (57 % or 55 % of companies) expect to see a rising trend over the next three months. Source: SCI Verkehr GmbH Company-specific outlook Risks and opportunities The risks and opportunities described in the group management report for the 2006 annual financial statements, in the report on expected developments and the risk report remain applicable. Following the acquisition of the minority interests in the Deufol Tailleur Group, the shareholders of D.Logistics AG are able to participate more strongly in the positive growth and earnings perspectives of the industrial goods packaging segment. Results planning confirmed sales corridor increased slightly D.Logistics AG confirms its results planning published in its half-year financial report for the fiscal year 2007 and is increasing its expected sales corridor to million (previously million). We hereby assume that the original sales planning will be clearly exceeded in industrial goods packaging, while consumer goods packaging is expected to be at the lower end of the planning range not least due to the weak US dollar and warehouse logistics will probably slightly miss its sales goal, partly due to the disposal of PickPoint AG. We continue to expect a Group EBITA of between 11.4 and 12.5 million.

17 Notes to the Consolidated Interim Financial Statements Consolidated Interim Financial Statements Page 0 15 Acquisitions and sales Deufol Tailleur GmbH, a 55 % subsidiary of D.Logistics AG which is also the lead company in the industrial goods packaging segment, has acquired 100 % of the shares in the following companies: LTP Logistic und Technik GmbH Walpa Gesellschaft für Übersee- und Spezialverpackung & Co. KG Walpa Gesellschaft für Übersee- und Spezialverpackung mbh (Walpa GmbH) Fischer Kisten GmbH. The first two of these companies were subsequently merged with Walpa GmbH, so that Walpa GmbH and Fischer Kisten GmbH are included in the consolidated financial statements from April 1, We refer to the half-year financial report in respect of the amounts reported for the assets and liabilities of the acquired companies. Consolidated sales for the period from April to September amount to 4,867 thousand, consolidated EBIT before amortization for the established clientele and the patent to 219 thousand. In addition, on June 29, 2007 the 45 % minority interests were purchased in Deufol Tailleur GmbH with a dividend right from January 1, Deufol Tailleur GmbH and its subsidiaries already formed part of the consolidated group of D.Logistics AG. The purchase price was 23 million, of which 18 million were paid on June 29. The remaining purchase price payments are staggered as follows: 1.5 million on June 30, 2008, 1.5 million on June 30, 2009 and 2.0 million on June 30, In addition, a performance-related purchase price component was agreed, which is due in 2010 and may amount to up to 7.0 million % of the shares in PickPoint AG were sold, so that D.Logistics AG now holds % of PickPoint AG. The sale price of the shares was 1. The company withdrew from the group of fully consolidated companies on June 30, 2007 and will in future be carried as an other equity investment. Adjustments due to the first-time application of IFRIC 4 (Embedded Leases) In its half-year financial report for the fiscal year 2006, D.Logistics AG applied the IFRIC Interpretation 4 Determining Whether an Arrangement Contains a Lease whose application is mandatory since January 1, Due to the final calculation within the framework of preparing the consolidated financial statements as of December 31, 2006, the first nine months of 2006 were adjusted as follows:

Newly issued shares are to be taken into consideration pro rata temporis for the period in which they are in circulation. The convertible bonds issued in December 2004 do not have any diluting effect as their conversion into common stock would not reduce the earnings per share resulting from continuing operations.

19 Notes to the Consolidated Interim Financial Statements Consolidated Interim Financial Statements Page Equity In July 2007, out of the outstanding convertible bond a nominal volume of 61,600 was converted into 34,220 shares in the company. As a consequence, the Subscribed Capital increased by 34,220 and the 27,380 which exceeded the nominal value of these shares were added to the capital reserves. The conversion privilege from the convertible bond was thus far classifiable as a debt derivative due to the loan terms and was valuable at fair value. Since the Executive Board of D.Logistics AG decided in May to waive the option of money compensation in the event of conversion, the conversion right is classifiable as an equity derivative as of the date of this decision. This led in the second quarter to a transfer without affecting the operating result and to an increase in the capital reserves by approx. 2.6 million. In accordance with this, deferred taxes also resulting from the valuation of the derivative were allocated to the accumulated losses without affecting the operating result. Equity attributable to minority interests was reduced by 4.4 million through the acquisition of the 45 % interests in Deufol Tailleur GmbH. 04 Cash flow statement The cash flow statement shows the origin and appropriation of the money flows in the first nine months of the fiscal years 2006 and It is of key significance for an assessment of the financial position of the D.Logistics Group. The cash funds shown in the cash flow statement correspond to the balance sheet item Cash and cash equivalents. The net cash provided by (used in) operating activities has been adjusted for changes to the consolidated group and in the first nine months of 2007 amounted to 8,843 thousand. The outflow of funds from investing activities amounted to 19,581 thousand and is mainly characterized by acquisitions. The inflow of funds from financing activities was 13,745 thousand and mainly reflects borrowing in connection with the acquisitions. The non-cash decrease in fin ancial liabilities resulting from the convertible bond amounted to thousand in the first nine months of Dividend No dividend was distributed in the first nine months of Contingencies In respect of the changes to the contingencies and to the contingent claims and liabilities, we refer to the performance-related purchase price component shown under acquisitions and sales for the purchase of the minority interests in Deufol Tailleur GmbH. There were no other significant changes by comparison to December 31, 2006.
